Specialist note

The artistic output of the Rotterdam born artist Simon de Vlieger consisted of prints, drawings and paintings with a particular focus on the Dutch landscape. This sheet is part of a group of drawings showing dune landscapes near the North Sea. A similar drawing in a comparably schematic style is in the Frits Lugt Collection, Paris (inv. 2013; see C.P. van Eeghen, ‘Simon de Vlieger as a Draftsman, I, The Pen Drawings’, Master Drawings, XLIV, 2011, no. 1, p. 19, fig. 18).
